Love this money and great to be introduced to Connie Stevens. Jerry Lewis is one of my favorite people. He is funny but also a great actor where you care about his character.
Rock-a-bye my baby in the early bright. Rock-a-bye my baby like a satellite. Rock-a-bye my baby ‘til you’re out of sight Did you know the ocean’s marmalade? Did you know that TV stars get paid? Did you know the Dodgers made that trade? Now’s the time to give your dreams a try. Rock-a-bye my baby Rock, rock my baby Let’s start to count those sheep. Rock-a-bye my baby Rock, rock my baby Won’t you go to sleep? (continue on final post)
Rock-a-bye my baby to the Land of Nod. Rock-a-bye my baby where the cherubs trod. Rock-a-bye my baby, aren’t cherubs odd? Did you know my song is nearly through? Did you know the Sandman’s overdue? Did you know I’ll soon be sleepy too? Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye my baby bye. (That's it! I hope it helps!)
I haven't seen this movie in years, amazing and funny...the copy we had was recorded so I never saw the beginning or the end but we fell in love with the middle.
"Based on a story by Preston Sturges" was a remake of MIRACLE AT MORGAN'S CREEK, an excellent movie starring Eddie Bracken & Betty Hutton. It was rewritten to be almost unrecognizable. The story would be reworked again in the French film Trois hommes et un couffin (Three Men and a Cradle) which took elements of both films. Trois hommes was remade as THREE MEN AND A BABY. Ironically Paramount chief Eisner bought the rights from the French unaware he already owned Miracle & Rock a Bye!
jerry lewis work really went over with family audiences until he did the nutty professor it was still a family comedy but it was a little more adult humor that time
Just found Sad Sack and Pardners, thanks who ever chased these down, very nostalgic. Watch Jerry and Dean re runs on Sunday arvo's in Sydney back in the early 70's, maybe late 60's when I was 12 or so.
Connie Stevens...wasn't she in 77 Sunset Strip? Has anyone downloaded this series anywhere? I must have been in my early teens when I first saw that series. Anyways, gotta a crush on Connie Stevens then I guess. Can't say I have seen this JL movie as yet, just watched a bunch of his over last 2 days. Thanks for posting Jerry's films, any Dean and Jerry films available?
I saw this movie in 1959 when I was in school.Have been looking for it ever since.Thank u thank u thank u.I shall always be grateful for the memory and for Jerry.Hes been like a cult figure for me....
I had such a crush on him...still do actually....you take one look at his young face in these older movies and your like "Whoa! He was hottie" lol he is the God of Comedy and just so freaking awesome
@myhoneyjudah though seemingly archaic to children today back then it was considered wrong because both a man and woman should wait until they were married to engage in those activities,because back then a Man would have never considered marrying a lose woman-though it was a slight double standard - is it such a bad thing to think that way? I would want my children, both boys and girls, to wait until marriage because of all the problems that come with having sex so early or not being married.
hi lovejoecartwright01!!thanks a lot for all your jerry lewis videos. you are so kind for sharing them all to us.your name really suits you coz i think you are so lovable.thanks,,, i'm a fan of yours now...
@classicphile I was born in '59 and though I like the 50's movies much more than the 60's Marilyn Maxwell escapes me. Did you ever get into Vampira? She was the prototype for Elvira mistress of the dark.
@ekocentric P.S. What do you know about Jayne Mansfield's movies? Believe it or not I know quite a bit about her biography, her acting daughter Mariska Hargity and her husband but have only seen her in one movie (with Tony Randal) and an Alfred Hitchcock episode. Where can I get some info on her movies? Have an idea? Thanx
@ekocentric I know tons about Jayne Mansfield's movies. I've read a book or two about her, I've seen quite a few of her movies, even many of her obscure ones.
@ekocentric No, I never did get into Vampira, but I have heard of her. Shes before my time (I was born in 1969). I best know her from the Ed Wood movie Plan 9 from outer space. I'm surprised that you dont know Marilyn Maxwell.
finally found it!

I always thought that Jerry swung just as hard as Dean or HARDER when it came to singing a tune. Mr. Lewis was rather unrrated.
marysman1960 6 months ago in playlist Jerry Lewis Rockabye my baby
Here are the lyrics to the title song as far as I can make out and let me tell you, it wasn't easy! Here we go!
Rock-a-bye my baby in the tree top tall.
Rock-a-bye my baby when the shadows fall.
Rock-a-bye my baby and we’ll have a ball.
Did you know the moon is made of cheese?
Did you know that money grows on trees?
Did you know I pegged a hundred Gs?
Close your eyes,
Close your eyes and away we’ll fly.

Which lady? Marilyn Maxwell plays the movie star Carla. Connie Stevens plays her little sister, Sandy.
